Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Xiaobai Novel Author Cultivation Plan
When the website posted the news that "The rights to ’Arcane Throne’ comics and game adaptation have already been sold."
Many readers were initially stunned, then they began to wildly discuss in the comment section of "Arcane Throne."
"Wow, so comics are finally not just about superheroes fighting evil forces anymore? Can we actually read comics with our brains now?"
"As a kid, I really liked ’Superman’ and ’The Flash’. But as an adult, what was all that even about? I’ll definitely support the comics of ’Arcane Throne.’"
"Count me in on the support."
Authors, on the other hand, thinking differently than the readers upon seeing the news of the rights sale, wondered whether it was possible to sell rights without going through physical books.
Although they would need to give 30% of the rights to the website.
But publishing on the website, without going through editors, meant there was no such thing as rejections.
And the royalties were even as high as 50%!
This prompted many more people to start refining their work with diligence rather than just writing nonsense online for fun.
Among them was the author of "I’m Really a Great Mage," James.
As an Ivy League University student, he had originally written a brainless novel just to relax and hadn’t planned on making money from it.
Therefore, even when his work was highly popular, he was indifferent to its banishment for plagiarism and simply shrugged it off.
But seeing the ancillary rights of "Arcane Throne" being sold, a thought suddenly struck him.
Could writing this stuff really make money to pay off his substantial student loans?
After pondering for a moment, James turned on his computer, ready to write another book.
This time, however, he deliberately avoided the issue of plagiarism.
"Mix ’I’m a Great Mage’ with ’Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’, toss in some innovation, and that should do the trick," James muttered to himself.
Just as he was about to start typing, he noticed an email in his inbox.
Huh?
It was from an editor of that website?
They first explained why "I’m Really a Great Mage" had been banned and then inquired if he had plans to start a new work.
James casually replied with a "yes." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Then, he closed the inbox.
What he didn’t know was that moments later, an email arrived again.
It was the editor providing "writing tips."
James was initially startled, then he read the email eagerly.
As he read, he thought to himself, The website values me, I have to write well.
But what he didn’t realize was that many other authors had received similar emails on that day.
While Wang Jian’s plan to mass-produce "novel" authors was in full swing,
he himself ran into a bit of trouble.
"Wang, there’s a lawyer here for you," Tom said, pushing open the door of the office.
"A lawyer?" Wang Jian paused his typing, puzzled, "What’s it about?"
"The other party says they’re sent by someone named Sarah," Tom replied.
"Sarah?" Wang Jian racked his brain for a long time and finally grasped a faint memory.
"Damn, it’s all trouble left by my predecessor."
This issue dates back to when Wang Jian shuffled between different foster homes.
At that time, some foster homes, in order to get government subsidies, exploited legal loopholes to adopt several children.
And once they received the subsidies, they neglected and even abused these kids.
Sarah was the daughter of a Mexican stowaway.
She and Wang Jian knew each other in one such foster home.
Then, when the foster home was discovered by the welfare agency and lost its foster qualifications,
the two of them faced the prospect of moving to another new foster home.
Wang Jian and Sarah were both tired of such a life.
And so, the two 17-year-olds banded together, scraping by in the Bronx District.
Until one day, Sarah saw that the family she had been fostered with had also fled Brooklyn and moved to the Bronx District.
Then came the cliché of going to their house to steal for revenge and getting caught.
The original host, being quite muscular and unable to fit through the tiny window, was outside keeping watch, so he was sentenced to community labor.
Whereas Sarah, for burglary, was sentenced to three years in prison.
Afterward, the original host became so gloomy that he got completely drunk.
Next, the current Wang Jian transmigrated over.
He frowned, initially not wanting to see this lawyer.
But as he opened his mouth, the memories of the original host became clearer and clearer in his mind.
Wang Jian sighed and said, "Let that lawyer in."
Tom nodded and closed the door.
Moments later, a young lawyer, suited and booted, entered the room.
"Tom, stay here too," Wang Jian decided after a moment of thought and kept Tom in the room.
Then, he looked up at the young man across from him.
"Hello, I’m Sarah’s legal representative, Matthew," the young man introduced himself first.
"You must be Wang Jian, the one Sarah mentioned?"
Wang Jian nodded and asked, "What do you need from me?"
Unexpectedly, the lawyer did not answer.
Instead, he took out a copy of "Arcane Throne" from his briefcase, handed it over with a smile, and said, "I’m a fan of your book. Could you give me an autograph?"
Wang Jian was speechless for a moment but then picked up a pen and signed his name on the title page of the book.
Matthew carefully put away the novel.
Then he said to Wang Jian, "Unfortunately, Sarah is locked up in a private prison."
"Because she has no money, she can’t ’upgrade her cell’, so her current condition is very bad."
"A private prison?" Wang Jian was full of questions. "Prisons can be privately owned?"
But seeing Tom’s unsurprised, nonchalant appearance, he forced himself to remain calm.
"So what?" Wang Jian asked.
"Sarah’s current emotional state is somewhat collapsing."
"I’ve applied to the court, hoping you could go see her."
Wang Jian had intended to refuse outright, but Sarah’s image in his mind became more and more vivid.
So, he looked towards Tom.
Tom nodded, indicating that there was no problem with just visiting the prison.
Wang Jian asked, "When can I visit?"
Matthew shrugged and said, "Without money, a date needs to be scheduled. With money, of course, you can go at any time."
"After all, it’s a private prison."
Wang Jian remembered that Sarah, for the sake of the original host, had taken most of the blame upon herself.
So, he said, "Let’s do it now."
Matthew made a welcoming gesture with great pleasure.
Tom immediately told Matthew, "Please wait outside the door for a moment."
After the other party left, Tom said to Wang Jian, "We need to sign an attorney employment agreement."
"That kind of place, the private prison, is very chaotic. I’d better accompany you as your lawyer."
"Do we need to do that?" Wang Jian asked, "It’s just a prison visit."
"Of course," Tom replied. "Not only do I need to accompany you, but you’ll also need to get some change."
"This is one of the darkest sides of the United States."
Wang Jian shrugged and signed the agreement.
